Who is Leonardo Pisano Fibonacci?
He is a famous mathematician, He created the numbers we use today. He wrote a book also, called, Liber Abbaci. Meaning 'Book of Calculating'. He created a sequence. You can find this sequence in many places, Mostly in nature. You can also find Fibonacci numbers in nature. You can find Fibonacci in the human body too. The sequence is
1 + 1 = 2
1 + 2 = 3
2 + 3 = 5
3 + 5 = 13
You take the last two numbers and add them to get a new number and add those two this sequence never stops.
Most people cannot recite the first 20 Fibonacci Numbers. This will help you find the correct answer if you try it and do not get these numbers you did something wrong.

Carl Friedrich Gauss died in Göttingen, Germany, on February 23 1855 (he was born in Braunschweig, Germany, on April 30, 1777). He died in his sleep.
Blaise Pascal, the French mathematician, was born in Clermont-Ferrand, France on June 19, 1623. Some of his most well-know ideas are Pascal's triangle, Pascal's law, and Pascal's theorem.
Name any 4 Indian mathematicians and write their contributions?
1. Aryabhata: his work, named "Aryabhatiya", is one of the first Indian mathematical compilations in India, supposedly on 500 A.D. It is compared to "The Elements", of Euclid, i.e., a compilations of previous mathematics who didn't leave published material.
2. Brahmagupta: in his works are found some interesting things , in special: one of the first representaions of the number "zero"; early representations of "square roots"; integer solutions for the linear diophantine equations, etc. His main work is named "Brahmasphuta Siddhanta" and he lived on the 7th century.
3. Bhaskara: maybe the most important mathematician of the 12th century, he studied and improved the work of Brahmagupta, adding some new observations, as to consider that the division of a number different of zero (n≠0) by zero is equal to infinite (n/0 = ∞). He supposeddly lived between 1114 and 1185 and has mainly two big works: "Vija-Ganita" and "Lilavati".
4. Ramanujan: the so-called Indian genious of the 20th century. Autodidact, he was known for his shap reasoning. His contributions, among others, are the Ramanujan Conjecture, the Ramanujam's Sum and the Ramanujam Theta Function. There is a quite interesting case involving him.
His friend, Godfrey Hardy, visited him when he was ill at a hospital in the district of Putney, London. He had ridden in taxi cab number 1729 and said to Ramanujan that it was an uninteresting number. Ramanujan replied then that 1729 was a quite interesting number, for it was the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways (1³ + 12³ = 1729³ = 9³ + 10³).
What are some names of mathematicians?
pythagorus , euclid , leonardo oiler , aryabatta , leibnitz , tolomy , ramanujan .....
The names of Euclid's elements?
i think that euclids elements were everything we know about geometry and that we will soon know a lot more about this subject because we are finding new things every day and soon someone will find out something new about geometry
Which of these was not a contribution of Copernicus?
Which is not a contribution of Copernicus?
A) The Sun lies at the center of the solar system.
B) Mars will retrograde when we overtake it near opposition.
C) Planetary orbits are elliptical in shape.
D) Venus retrogrades when she overtakes us at inferior conjunction.
E) The approximate spacing of the planet orbits away from the sun.
De Morgan's first theorem and second theorem?
De Morgan's first theory is that the NAND gates stay on the left with the two points, while the right side has inverted inputs on the OR gate to create the Bubbled OR. The second theory has a NOR gate on the left side with the two points and the right side with an AND gate that has inverted inputs to create a Bubbled AND.
Who has the largest measured cranium?
Brett Skapinetz has an enormous cranium. The volume of this gargantuan human head will be measured by Archimedes principle once a large enough vessel is found to submerge it into.
His cranium is so large that several recent lottery winners have opted to have the equivalent of his head filled with nickels instead of the grand prize
Who are the great mathematician and their contributions?
Ahmes was the Egyptian scribe who wrote the Rhind Papyrus - one of the oldest known mathematical documents.
Thales was the first known Greek philosopher, scientist and mathematician. He is credited with five theorems of elementary geometry.
Pythagoras was a Greek philosopher who made important developments in mathematics, astronomy, and the theory of music. The theorem now known as Pythagoras's theorem was known to the Babylonians 1000 years earlier but he may have been the first to prove it.
Euclid was a Greek mathematician best known for his treatise on geometry: The Elements . This influenced the development of Western mathematics for more than 2000 years.
Heron or Hero of Alexandria was an important geometer and worker in mechanics who invented many machines including a steam turbine. His best known mathematical work is the formula for the area of a triangle in terms of the lengths of its sides. A is the area of a triangle with sides a, b and c and s = (a + b + c)/2 then A^2 = s (s - a)(s - b)(s - c)....
Menelaus was one of the later Greek geometers who applied spherical geometry to astronomy. He is best known for the so called Menelaus's theorem.
François Viète was a French amateur mathematician and astronomer who introduced the first systematic algebraic notation in his book In artem analyticam isagoge . He was also involved in deciphering codes. he calculated π to 10 places using a polygon of 6 216= 393216 sides. He also represented π as an infinite product which, as far as is known, is the earliest infinite representation of π.
Johannes Kepler was a German mathematician and astronomer who postulated that the Earth and planets travel about the sun in elliptical orbits. He gave three fundamental laws of planetary motion. He also did important work in optics and geometry.
René Descartes was a French philosopher whose work, La géométrie, includes his application of algebra to geometry from which we now have Cartesian geometry. His work had a great influence on both mathematicians and philosophers.
Leonhard Euler was a Swiss mathematician who made enormous contributions to a wide range of mathematics and physics including analytic geometry, trigonometry, geometry, calculus and number theory. Firstly his work in number theory seems to have been stimulated by Goldbach but probably originally came from the interest that the Bernoullis had in that topic. Goldbach asked Euler, in 1729, if he knew of Fermat's conjecture that the numbers 2^n + 1 were always prime if n is a power of 2. Euler verified this for n = 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 and, by 1732 at the latest, showed that the next case 2^(32) + 1 = 4294967297 is divisible by 641 and so is not prime. Euler also studied other unproved results of Fermat and in so doing introduced the Euler phi function (n), the number of integers k with 1 k n and k co prime to n. He proved another of Fermat's assertions, namely that if a and b are co prime then a^2 + b^2 has no divisor of the form 4n - 1, in 1749. Other work done by Euler on infinite series included the introduction of his famous Euler's constant , in 1735, which he showed to be the limit of
1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + ... + 1/n - log(e) n
Lagrange excelled in all fields of analysis and number theory and analytical and celestial mechanics. He also worked on number theory proving in 1770 that every positive integer is the sum of four squares. In 1771 he proved Wilson's theorem (first stated without proof by Waring) that n is prime if and only if (n -1)! + 1 is divisible by n.
